Cycling the Berlin Wall Tour

One very interesting cycling tour in Berlin is the Berliner Mauerweg. It stretches along the old wall that surrounded Berlin from 1961 until 1989. The tour is approximately 160 km long and is mostly formed by paved paths. Accessing the tour is easy, just take the S-Bahn train to any station that lies along the former wall (Wannsee, Hermsdorf, etc) or start in the city centre by the Brandenburg Gate.

We cycled the tour in three parts:

Wannsee – Hermsdorf

Hermsdorf – Schönefeld

Schönefeld – Wannsee

Part 1: Berlin Wall Tour (Wannsee – Hermsdorf)

From S-Bahn station Wannsee, we took the ferry F10 to Alt-Kladow and continued cycling for some 50 km kilometers to Hermsdorf.

Part 3: Berlin Wall Tour (Schönefeld – Wannsee)

The third part of our tour was indeed on a rainy day, but one could really imagine how beautiful it could have been with some sunshine. The lakes, the silent nature and the interesting break spots are good descriptions for this part. The road lead us to the city of Potsdam and in the end back to Wannsee.
